Shame on those lazy lecturers

MINISTERS have warned universities that they could face fines if they don’t return to in-person teaching soon. Good. The way students have been treated is a scandal. They are paying astronomical fees to sit in their bedrooms and stare at a screen. What an unfair and diminished experience. It makes even less sense when you consider that students are at such low risk from Covid. Lecturers should be ashamed. The pandemic has shown the true colours of some people. Rather than wanting to help students make up for the past two years, many in universities have selfishly retreated behind their screens, preferring the convenience of teaching from the comfort of their homes. The students are the ones who suffer.
